Danza Kuduro

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Harry Reed| T: Daisy Hitchins

6/1

€7,500 3-y-o, Jet Away gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Uptown Harry and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Star Walking. Not at all badly bred and wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to make an impact on debut.

Form:

Dunstall Star⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: G Sheehan| T: T R George

10/11

Telescope gelding from a family the yard knows well and hinted at ability when sixth in 10-runner bumper at Wincanton on debut in January. This looks a weaker race and he's entitled to do better.

Form: 6

La Bamba Chica

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Tom Cannon| T: J & S Best

5/1

Mount Nelson mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Quick Draw and fairly useful chaser Guy. Dam (c113/h117) 15f hurdle winner in France. Makes some appeal on paper and would enter the reckoning if supported in the betting.

Form:

Roxy Rocks²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Bryan Carver| T: C Honour

25/1

Jukebox Jury mare who is a half-sister to dual bumper winner Shantewe but offered little on her recent Taunton debut.

Form: 4

Show Your Hand^t1²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe

3/1

£20,000 brother to bumper winner/fair 2½m hurdle winner Glancing Jack, while dam was a 2m-2½m hurdle winner. Looked in need of the run when well held in Goffs Hundred Grand Bumper at Newbury on last month's debut and should be capable of better. Tongue strap fitted.

Forecasts

Dunstall Star (10/11), Show Your Hand (3/1), La Bamba Chica (5/1), Danza Kuduro (6/1), Country Pursuits (10/1), Roxy Rocks (25/1)

SHOW YOUR HAND hinted at more ability than the result would suggest in the Goffs Hundred Grand Bumper at Newbury on his debut last month and is fancied to take a good step forward with his sights now significantly lowered. Dunstall Star showed some promise on his initial outing at Wincanton and is entitled to do better, while newcomers Danza Kuduro and La Bamba Chica make some appeal on pedigree and wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to make an impact.
